Slapping a conclusion on this!

Reek did not know it then, but that 'other wolf' was just around the corner - he would settle on the rise, win a sprightly little alpha's heart, and begin to dream of family. Disaster and mayhem would accompany him on the road (they were mere weeks from a tornado), but Reek was the sort of fellow who might just weather those storms. His heart was in the right place, and he possessed just enough naivety to shelter it from harm.

They talked for a while longer, swapping eye-rolls and laughs until the storm let up. Bazi made her way home to her mate, and Reek went off to face the unknown.
